That Vibrator-Loving TSA Agent Has Been Disciplined

After Feministe blogger Jill Filipovic received a seemingly supportive note from a TSA agent who, while searching through Filipovic’s luggage, apparently found her vibrator, the TSA “quickly launched an investigation and identified the employee responsible,” according to a post on the TSA’s official blog. The message continues: “That individual was immediately removed from screening operations and appropriate disciplinary action has been initiated.” We take this to mean that he/she has been placed on indefinite “feeling up fat people” duty.
